Prinz Aldabert's Awards

[91-old-inf-reg]

Hi all, 

I'm wondering if some of Prinz Adalbert's awards could be identified 

So far, from what I can gather his awards are: 

 

Schwartzer Adler Orden Burststern

 

Roter Adler Orden - Gross Kreuz 

 

Preußen Königlicher Hausorden von Hohenzollern Kette der Großkomture

 

Ordenschnalle: 

 

1. Roter Adler Orden 3. Klasse mit Krone 

 

2. Kronen Orden 3. Klasse 

 

3. Goldene Erinnerungsmedaille an Fürst Carl Anton

 

3/4. 1897 Zentarmedaille
 

4. China Denkmunze

 

5. Schweden Pro Patria Medaille?

 

6. ?

 

The rest are unknown

I don't believe medal 5 is the Swedish Pro Patria medal, it would not make sense since it's a civilian medal awarded for long and faithful service. The Pro Patria medal also has the kings profile on the front and the ribbon is black with yellow edges, which this medal don't seem to have. 

 

I rather believe it's the Swedish medal of the Sword (Svärdsmedaljen) which was awarded to military personnel. Kaiser Wilhelm II received a special gold version in 1875. It was the only gold medal ever awarded.

Yes! Thank you, I knew I was in the ballpark with the medal being Swedish, could the next one be possibly ottoman or have some North African connection?

The last one I am tempted to say its the Turkish gold Liakat medal with modified suspender device, he did receive one and the size of 25mm would fit
